It might be able to tell us why, after immigrating to the Quad Cities, Carls parents Alois and Anna Woeber came to Springfield and what connection they had with the Quad Cities Woebers who made luxury railroad cars. It might also explain why the company name changed from the German Mustard Company to the Crown Mustard Company, then to Woebers in its earliest days. The Woebers had set aside some pictures and documents as they added on to their plant on Madison Avenue, as Raymond V. Woeber took over from his father in 1955, then as his sons Raymond L. and Richard succeeded him in the late 1980s.

Upton was diagnosed with sesamoiditis, which is inflammation in the bone behind the ball of the foot. The condition is a further setback to Upton, who is coming off two miserable seasons after signing a five-year, $75 million contract with the Braves. He batted .208 with 12 homers, 35 RBIs and 173 strikeouts in 2014, which was actually a slight improvement on his initial season in Atlanta (.184, nine homers, 26 RBIs). The 30-year-old Upton has gone by his nickname, B.J., throughout his big league career. Perhaps looking to improve his prospects, he announced at the beginning of spring workouts that he would prefer to use his given name, Melvin.

Andrew has the chops to be a great jazz drummer, but does he have the steel to sacrifice everything for his art? The teacher pits his students against one another within the school's prestigious ensemble band, creating a kind of deranged social Darwinism in the name of Art. The story of the prodigy and the mentor is familiar territory -- could be basketball, could be chess -- but writer/director Damien Chazelle is painting with colors a lot darker than we're used to.Whiplashoffers up the complex themes of a character-driven drama, but with the suspense quotient of a superior thriller. Bonus features on the DVD edition include a commentary track with writer/director Damien Chazelle and the estimable Mr. Simmons, plus a short feature on the film's screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Blu-ray package adds the "Timekeepers" feature, in which legendary drummers discuss their craft; a deleted scene with commentary; and the original short film version ofWhiplash.
